Today I Watched Jousting.

Three of my sisters and I went the the Washington Misummer Renaissance Faire today. It was really fun and really hot (85 degrees!!!) and, on my chest, I got a nice sunburn which looks just like a bib necklace.

I found my camera. It was folded up in our double stroller. Yay! I took some pictures of today's festivities. I promise to post them and talk more about the faire in a future post. I also want to get our Pacific Science Center pics posted.

But since it was such a long, hot, fun-filled day, I am worn out and want to go to bed before midnight. So, I'm simply going to post my final summertime giveaway. I've been able to really get out, this week, and enjoy the beautiful, colorful location which I call home. It's been awesome and the weather really cooperated, which is nice!

I love the Pacific Northwest. I love the Puget Sound (ocean). I love the trees. I even love the rain (it keeps things uber green around here). I love it and I don't want to leave it but that is exactly what we'll be doing next year (most likely) because Tony will be applying to a lot of out of state colleges in October. I'm excited for the adventure but I will miss this place (not to mention my family is here).

So, this last giveaway of the summer is dedicated to the PNW.

The winner gets this 8x10 print of the Puget Sound at Chukanut Bay. Gorgeous! This print is back ordered until next month, but I'd say it's worth the wait. To win, simply be a follower and leave a comment. Open internationally. Giveaway will end Tuesday, August 23rd, in the evening.
